The district said students were taken to the church across from the school.

"Law officials have been notified and are on the scene and the situation is under control," the district said.

Meanwhile, Waynesville Elementary students were turned away, as the school is adjacent to the threatened building.

At 9 a.m., the district said "Waynesville Elementary School has been cleared by the tactical team and students will be returning to the 'elementary only' at this time. Students will be walking from Quaker Heights to the elementary building with the intention of having a normal school day."

Students returned to the junior and senior high schools by 10 a.m. Afternoon kindergarten was cancelled, but the district said all other students would be dismissed at the normal time.

The district also had a threat on Thursday that was deemed "extremely unlikely," and no evacuations took place.
